Monday Kick-off!

🌲✨ Patience was the theme of the day at Arts Camp!

In Art, campers began creating their very own “Patience Pouches.” Our older campers learned basic sewing skills, while younger campers selected fabrics and decorated with colorful felt. As they continue working on their pouches throughout the week, they’re discovering an important lesson: good things take time, and patience and perseverance lead to something meaningful they can be proud of. 🧵👜🎭🎶 During the Performance Workshop, campers explored either Music or Drama. Drama students brought statues to life through imaginative play, while Music students learned our camp song about patience in the forest, along with a fun campfire-style repeat-after-me song. 🍫👩‍🍳 And in Culinary Workshop, a camp favorite, campers made delicious mud balls! They chose their ingredients, mixed them together, and rolled them into tasty treats that were as fun to make as they were to eat. What a wonderful day of creativity, learning, and patience!

Middle of the week:

🌟 Another wonderful day at Saint Barnabas Arts Camp! 🌟 On Tuesday, our campers continued exploring the virtue of patience—especially learning to be patient with themselves as they tried new things and grew in confidence. 💚 In Culinary, campers practiced new chopping skills while preparing fresh fruits and vegetables. 🔪 In Art, creativity and perseverance were on display as they worked on their patience pouches and learned the basics of sewing. 🧵 In Drama, laughter filled the room with woodland-themed games and activities—they didn’t want to “leaf”! 🍃😄 In Music, campers kept the woodland theme going as they learned about rhythm through the fun and energetic Moose Song. 🎵 From creativity to teamwork to discovering new talents, it was another fun-filled day of learning, growth, and adventure! ✨

Wrapping Up an Incredible Camp Season

🌲✨️⭐️- Thursday at Saint Barnabas Arts Camp was yet another fabulous and fun-filled day!
Today, the campers delved deep into what it means to be patient with the unknown, and what to do while you wait.
🪡⭐️- In Art, Campers continued to perfect their “Patience Pouches,” and even got the
opportunity to use a sewing machine! Even though sewing can be tricky, each and every one of the campers used patience to persevere.
🎵⭐️- In Music, kids once again sang the song “Rad Ranger Roy” (a very catchy tune), while
partnering up to double the fun! Campers also kept on learning about rhythm by using drums
and tambourines! It truly was a symphony of music and fun.
🎭⭐️- Meanwhile, in Drama, campers played fun nature-themed games together, strengthening
friendships and bolstering imagination. The immersive Drama Room is truly a wonder to behold!
🍌⭐️- Campers got to cook up a delectable and tasty treat in Culinary: Banana Pancakes!
Campers definitely went “bananas” for these flapjacks, and learned how to cook a perfect pancake.
Once again, the day was filled to the brim with joy and excitement. Although the week is coming to an end, there’s plenty more fun to be had!
